This is a picture of Eric Blake & Zach Miller. You really get a good sense for how steep UPPER WALKING BOSS is. Eric in the gray ended up finishing 3rd and Zach ended up in 4th...... top six make the US Mountain running team and go to Italy in September to race for the USA!
This race chewed me up and spit me out..... Halfway through, I vowed that I would never run it again. Of course when it was over, I was thinking about next year. Here's a picture of me on the final down before the UPPER WALKING BOSS.
Then bring the pain. This section which is about one kilometer long, took me 21 minutes to power hike. UPPER WALKING BOSS..... Brutal.
You mean I have to climb up there????? What the cuss!
One if front of the other..... My quads really hurt.
